No credit for completing "earn a ticket" endeavors if already full on tickets

The issue is with the endeavors and how they are worded. All they ever say is to earn event tickets. This is especially confusing the way it says we can earn tickets just by eating the cake.

If it's an event that doesn't count toward an endeavor unless we receive tickets then the endeavor should say to receive event tickets.

I'm not arguing that we should always get credit for endeavors even if we are at the cap on tickets. I'm just asking that they make it consistent one way or the other. Or at least make the wording more clear.

But it is consistent with what earning means though.

It isn't to me and I doubt I'm the only one.

Sounds like they should just change the word "earn" to "collect," to clear confusion.

This would make it much more clear, but I still find it strange that they do it differently for different events.

If you picked up the tickets, you earned them. If you did not, you did not earn them yet.

They don't do it differently per event. It is done differently based on how the ticket is provided.

Lootable tickets, like the cake, were changed to not be picked up if you were at or near cap to avoid people accidentally losing their tickets due to some event randomly dropping tickets in different lootable containers.

Quest turn ins were unchanged, since those are 100% controllable by the player.

It isn't an event change, it is a drop change by drop type.

Just buy something and eat the cake again.

I agree, this would solve the issue here. There's a fair bit of confusion with the wording of certain endeavors, where their requirements don't match their description. This would be a step in the right direction.

This just flips the problem. You can "earn" event tickets during Jester that you don't "collect". If you accept quest completion at cap, you earned tickets but did you collect them?

Eating cake at cap is equivalent to exiting out of the Jester quest turn-in dialog. You don't earn tickets or get endeavor credit if you back out after seeing warning dialog at quest turn-in. There is no explicit warning with cake but you implicitly decline to earn tickets by eating cake at cap.

Engage with the system the way it's intended to be engaged with and you won't have an issue. Buy something. Eat cake again.

Well, the Endeavors only count Event Tickets which are forced into the inventory, even if the player doesn't have room for them. Rewording the Endeavor "Force x Event Tickets into your inventory" isn't intuitive. It makes sense to use the word "Earn", because that rules out the possibility of buying Event Tickets from the Crown Store, and the word "Collect" also seems to imply that the Event Tickets aren't bought.

For the sake of consistency, I think earning Event Tickets via a quest while at 12/12 Event Tickets should not progress the Endeavor, just like how you aren't given the option to collect excess Event Tickets from containers like the Anniversary Jubilee cake. The tickets may have been earned in both cases, but they aren't collected.

I stand by my opinion that the endeavor should be more clear by specifying either "earn" or "collect". That wouldn't change anything about how it works but would make it a lot clearer.

Thanks for flagging this, Silverbride. We'll take this feedback to the team. If there is any follow up, we're make note of it here.

Thank you, @ZOS_Kevin !

Not that it would fix this problem, but buy something to use up 10 tickets and at least you will have more space. Delete the purchased item if you don't want it. That would be a workaround.
